WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

2kg of frozen blueberries added for 4 days after 4 days of fermentation gave a beautiful color, but not a sugary taste of blueberries. Extrat of a syrup could be more effective to get a candy blueberrie taste.
Also, the Hallertau Tradition, beside being really interresting, overpowers the bluberries a little bit.

All in all, this is an easy sipper without much of an after taste.
